I don't mean to be the "I told you so" in the conversation but it pays to be leery of dietary fads and wait for the claims to be substantiated by science because you can end up doing more harm than good even when you have the best of intentions... You need to pay attention to the details and do in-depth research. In the case of coconut oil, it simply made no sense to think that all that saturated fat could be any good! And it's not only with coconut oil, either. Years ago, it was the Omega supplements and people ended up messing up their birds something terrible by giving them supplements meant for people because parrots should never get an Omega 6 or 9 supplement while people do.
